We live in a fast world where most people are always in a rush and are looking for ways to reach their destination as quickly as possible. For this reason, a lot of us like to use taxi services for fast and comfortable transportation.
Driving a car requires a lot of attention, patience and carefulness, especially when the driver has some passengers with them. Having this in mind, Twitter user @sarahschauer started a thread by sharing her experience of taking a cab. The woman revealed that once when she was using the service, she was in a hurry and asked the driver to go as quickly as he could, to which he replied “I am from Russia.” The woman continued her story by saying that at that time she was quite sure that they were “about to break the sound barrier.”
So here are some more of the funny and wild taxi ride stories that people chose to share on the internet.

According to the European Commission, the road safety statistics for the year 2020 show that the number of fatalities has slightly decreased in the European Union but still hasn’t reached the set goal. It is also known that the country where the most car accidents occur in Europe is Romania, with 96 people killed for one million inhabitants, according to the 2019 statistics.

Recent information on road safety suggests that the EU has the safest roads and managed to decrease the percentage of road deaths by 36% in the span of 10 years (2010-2020). Of course, the pandemic also had an impact on the statistics. Even though the traffic slowed down because of the strict measures, the report suggests that those who did risk leaving their home had an “impact on the number of road fatalities.”
